the motherboard manual says that you have to short the solder points in order to clear the cmos before you put in the new battery. can anybody please guide as to how to locate these solder points and how to short them.

Clearing the CMOS is usually done by shorting two pins on the motherboard using a jumper. Details of where these two pins should be found will/should be in the motherboard manual. In certain motherboard types the CMOS is cleared by keeping a designated key depressed and switching it on. In case you cannot locate the pins, CMOS can also be cleared by removing the CMOS battery.
